3 Correct use
The WL24-2 is an opto-electronic photoelectric retro-reflective sensor (referred to as
"sensor" in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and
persons. A reflector is required for this product to function. If the product is used for any
other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become
void.

5 Mounting
Mount the sensor and the reflector using suitable mounting brackets (see the SICK
range of accessories). Align the sensor and reflector with each other.
Note the sensor’s maximum permissible tightening torque of 2 Nm.
6 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state. The following information must
be observed, depending on the connection type:
– Plug connection: note pin assignment: when the lid is open, the male connector
can be swiveled horizontally and vertically.
– Terminal connection: Note the permissible cable diameter of 5 to 10 mm. When
the lid is open, the M16 connector can be swiveled horizontally and vertically.
Unscrew the M16 connector and remove sealing plug. Lead voltage-free supply
cable through and connect sensor in accordance with table 2 and table 4.
Retighten M16 connector with seal so that the IP enclosure rating of the device is
ensured.
Figure 1: Opening the sensor Figure 2: Electrical connection
Only apply voltage/switch on the power supply once all electrical connections have
been established.

7 Additional functions
Alarm
Alarm output: the sensor (WL24-2Vxxx) features a pre-failure notification output
(“Alarm” in connection diagram [see "WL24-2Bxxx, WL24-2Vxxx", page 7]), which issues
a notification if the sensor is only ready for operation to a limited extent. The LED indi‐
cator flashes in this case. Possible causes: sensor or reflector is contaminated, sensor
is out of alignment. In the good state: LOW (0), if excessively contaminated HIGH (1).

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS 7

Test input
Test input: the WL24-2B / -V sensors feature a test input (“TI” or “Test” on the connec‐
tion diagram [see "WL24-2Bxxx, WL24-2Vxxx", page 7 and see table 7]), which can be
used to switch the sender off and, therefore, check that the sensor is functioning cor‐
rectly: if female cable connectors with LED indicators are used, you have to ensure that
the TI is assigned accordingly.
There must be no object between the sensor and reflector; activate the test input (see
the connection diagram [see "WL24-2Bxxx, WL24-2Vxxx", page 7 and see table 7], TE at
0V at PNP) (PNP: TE → M; NPN: TE → L+). The send LED is shut down or the detection
of an object is simulated. Use the following table to check the function. If the switching
output fails to behave in accordance with the following table, check the application con‐
ditions. See section Fault diagnosis.

8 Commissioning
1Alignment
Align the sensor with a suitable reflector. Select the position so that the red emitted light
beam hits the center of the reflector. The sensor must have a clear view of the reflector
with no object in the path of the beam [see figure 3 and figure 4]. You must ensure that the
optical openings of the sensor and reflector are completely clear.
Figure 3: Alignment Figure 4: Alignment 2
2Sensing range
Adjust the distance between the sensor and the reflector according to the corresponding
diagram [see following figure] (x = sensing range, y = operating reserve).
